Poitiers 6:6 otherwise known as the craziest week ever





Ahhhhh, guess what!!! I'm training! I'm sitting in the Lyon institute
with all the other trainers and it's crazy!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh I'm so
excited! So there are four coming in and 3 are European and one
Tahitian. So I'm getting a foreign companion, obviously. I'm so
excited! Ahh, nervous to, but so excited!



So, now that I got my self all excited and my heart is racing with
slightly shaking hands I will try to write what else happened this
week.



First things first, our engagés are doing awesome! Aimé and Aurech
have there baptisms coming up in less than 2 weeks, the 24th of
October and then zoé and Anastasia are doing so well too!

So much happened this week I really have no idea where to start. We
had one day that was really cool. So I have been thinking about 3
things lately that I've been hoping for I guess. Number one, that we
really need to teachable family. Number two, that we run into these
two girls that were really cool, and number three that we have a
miracle lesson with someone we lost contact with. So all of these
things happened in the space of about 5 hours. Let me tell you about
it. We wake up Wednesday morning, do our workout, start are studies,
everything like normal. Before eating lunch we had decided to go out
and do some contacting for an hour. So we head out, not many people
were talking to us, but our wandering led us to walk by some one we
had met a while ago, but hadn't been able to see. She was sitting out
side her house and so we go say hi, and have a lesson with her :)
which went really really well and she seemed like she really needed it
in the moment because when we walked up she kind of looked like she
was crying... Miracle 3 fulfilled! So we went back, ate, and then
headed out so we were passing people and going through the city and as
we were walking guess who we walk in to, Amélie! Which is one of the
two girls we had met a few weeks ago, we had fixed a rdv, but they
didn't come, and so we were super bummed, but what she told us is her
phone fell in the toilet and she had to change her phone. Miracle 3
fulfilled! And now, miracle one. So this needs a bit of a back story.
So we had been calling these old potentials, people that had met
missionaries and given their numbers probably at least a year and a
half ago, and we fixed a rdv with one. He lives in an outer ville so
we got a member to drive us there. All we knew about him was his name.
So we go, we drive up, and guess who is driving up at the same time..
Him with his wife and two kids! Voilà! Miracle one done and done!

And in that day we met some one and fixed a rdv, and met someone else
who was interested and got their number :) such an amazing day!!!

There is so much more! One of them is that sister Jacobsen left her
bag with everything in it on a train going to Paris. iPad, journal,
camera, wallet, everything was in it. And guess what, we got it back!
A member just happened to be going to Paris for the day and was able
to pick it up!

Prayers get answered people, prayers get answered!

So much to say, not enough time.
Funny things: Zoé and Anastasia, new question, taught the plan of
salvation and she says, "why can't we just go to the spirit world
right now?" :)
We visited a part member family and their 7 year old sons said the
prayer, "Merci de nous sauver du moyen âge, parce que je pense que les
gens étaient très méchants." Aka, thank you for saving us from the
Middle Ages, because I think the people were really mean.. What did
thinks about that? He reminded me of Rhett and jake. They're the same
age too.
We also got called super fly sisters... Weird

Ah, there is so much more but I can't even gather my thoughts!
I'm training!

Love sister Christensen!
